The blackboard driver from Springer vile brought the report last Saturday that Charlie Thomas, Jack Cooper and a Mr. Paddy had followed some horse thieves, overlook them and killed two out of three. From what we can learn the circumstances were as follows; A man called Sprague, alias "Long Hair," "Jack of Diamonds" alias Tim berline with half dozen other aliases. and man supposed to be Lee Renfro, were on the headwaters of Eagle Creek in fact, stopped at the ranch of Thomas, and got something 10 eat. In the course of conversation, however, short time after they rode up to Thomas cabin, one of trio remarked "that it was bad place for them to stop-if they were rounded up, there was very little chance of escape" Thereupon Thomas told them ''that if they were being hunted, he did not want them about him. They might have something to eat, but then they would have to move-that he was not going to be dragged into any trou- ble on their account" Cooper and Paddy were stopping at the cabin at the time. It is supposed the trio became
 ncensed because Thomas would not let them stop and rest up. Cooper, it is said, is an early riser, and the first thing he does of morning when he gets up,
 is to look after the horses. The morn ing after the gentlemen left who arc so abundantly blessed with aliases, Cooper pursued his usual custom of looking up the horses before sunrise, and when he found them, there were some four or five missing. It did not take him long to make the others acquainted with the situation of affairs, and as the cabin of Thomas is situated in canyon, they were not long in striking the trail, and not slow in following it after it was found. They came up with the rustlers at the mouth of Eagle Creek, in camp, and told them to throw up their hands. Long responded with a shot, which was quickly returned, and, it is said. the gentleman with the long tresses had three bullet holes in him. Diamond, not to be out done by his companion in crime, made his Winchester speak, and met the same fate as Long Hair. Rem fro, thinking discretion the better part of valor, made good his escape Wheth- CT this report is true or not, We do not pretend to say, but give it as it was told the HERALD reporter.

Trouble Ahead

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy, crave food; the nervous system, when yigor- ous and tranquil, gives Its pOssessOr no un- easiness nt night. A tonic, to be effective, nerves to be strengthened and soothed by the unalded action of sedative or narcotic. What is required is medicine which invig orates the stomach, and promotes assimila- tion offood by the system, by which means the nervous system, as we'll as other parts of the physical organism, are strengthened. These are the effects of HoStetter'S Stomach Bitters, medicine whose reputation is founded firmly in public confidence, and ti-bilious and other properties. It is used with the best results in fever and ague, rheu- matism, kidney and uterine weakness, md Nther maladieS.

Judge Baldwin, the eminent lawyer, came in from the headquarters of the Wabash Cattle Company last Sunday, to have a consultation with our District Attorney. who IS proving to the people that their confidence was not misplaced when they called on him by such an overwhelming vote to take charge of the legal affairs of Apache county. The Judge expressed no doubt as to the final outcome of the tax suit against the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, and We have no hesitancy in saying he knows whereof he speaks.

The Territorial Board of Equalization has assessed the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company at the rate of $7,O0O per mile, making for the III 7s-lO0 miles in our county, $782, AGO, and in appor- tioning the rolling stock to our county, We have an additional assessed valua- ton of $S9 1885 .o5. making the total as sessment in our county. as made by them and submitted to our Board oi Supervisors $a3l, ,444 O5. This includes all their property in this county, except the right Of*way, which was not assess ed. While the assessment is certainly too low, it is recognized as vast i'm. provement over the past.

Should the. report of the killing of Diamond and sprague prove true, the backbone of the gang of rustlers who have infested the southern end of this county for the past four or five years will have been broken, their forces scat tered, and the authorities can now take them in by detail, without much trou- ble. As soon as they have bagged the rest ot this gang, they should cooper ste with the officials of Yavapai, and break up the nest that is in existence in the western portion of our county. The Canyon Creek gang broken up, our citi- zens can then turn horse out with some assurance that when he wants to use him, he can be found somewhere on the range, which is not the case now.
